The dining room dims to the low light of paper screens while the kitchen becomes a stage: a ring of stainless steel where chefs slide knives and tongs with practiced speed and the aroma of soy and charred scallion threads the air. At Chiyo, the meal arrives as a sequence—sushi or sashimi, seared teppanyaki, or a bubbling Korean casserole—followed by a high-energy Cat Dance show that shifts the night into a different tempo.
